Written, directed by and starring Christopher Weekes, this is a brilliant Australian drama with flashes of comedy.
A couple struggle to come to terms with the death of their son, whose brother and ex-lover have also been profoundly changed by the bereavement.
It’s terribly sad: you see a family trying and failing to make sense of the inexplicable, losing themselves in overeating and off-the-rails behaviour. It’s a low-budget affair that works brilliantly because the script is so sharp.
The acting is superb. The only thing that doesn't quite work is the title, which somehow isn't right.
